LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

Christmas Gifts.-The first holiday
indication Of the high esteem in which
the JOURNAL is held has come from
Mrs. Frederick Johnson--a large cake
pan with the message-''here's the
pan, Journal; now you hustle arounG
and get the cake ~ and forthwith,
not content with hustling, we recon
noltered. skirmished and tusseled, and

The next was bucket of the finest

and pie we shall live lofty this Christ
mas and begin the New Year very

But the crowning gift came from
Messrs. C. H. and NJ. P. Hamill, Lead
vile, Colorado, sons of Niue Inspector
Hamill, of this place--a mineral souv-
euir marked "C.ssaudra.' 1t is, in
fact, a jewel chest by 6 6i4ches square
and inches high, castle-shaped. The
upper third is the lid, which, when
raised, shows I'm interior of bright red
silk finish. Thirty brilliant and valu-
able specimens of Colorado minerals,
cemeuted, are represented in its con-
struction, of which the following are
designated !: Amazon stone, pink satin
spar. Iceland spar, quartz crystal,
smoky quartz, crystalized palm, petri-
fled cedar, petritied cottonwood, agate,
chalcedcny, woo1 pal, wood jasper,
moss agate, huor spar, peacock ore,
iron pyrites, lead ore, copper ore, sill
yer ore, gold ore. And. as though the
chest were not enough, there nestled
among the cushions of the interior an
elegant gold pencil-just the thing for
the veraciOus chronicler. Evidently
of considerable cost, this testimonial
of esteem, 50 chaste and rare, cOnfuses
the JOURNAL. There are none so poor
as those whose idiom fails in time of
proper acknowledgement, and no meta
physician ever feels the deficiency of
words in time of need so much as the
grateful. Our young and prosperous
friends will understand, therefore, that
for once, the JOURNAL, like the Irish
man, though mot dead, is spacheless u

1t gives rise 10 several questions
l. What is the difference between
a scab from the X. of l.. standpoint,
and a blacklisted man from the COR
poration standpoint?
2. How much worse is one than the
other?
3. What type Of civilized life does
each best represent?
The difference appears to consist in
the fact that the scab is ostraclsed by
his fellow-workmen because he will
not submit to dictation, while the
blacklisted man is denied employ
ment because he is a dictator.
The probability is the latter is the
worse of the two because, while no
obligation binds anybody to employ
him, he assumes the right to compel
employers to furnish work at his
hours, his days, his rate Of wages aud
his terms of payment. He arrogates
to himself, moreover, the dictNm Of
determining who Of lis fellow work
men shall work, and who shall not.
In short, he is the Grst and moving
cause Of the sca5. Without him
there would and could be no genesis
for the scab.
OF the two, therefore, the sca5 is the
more respectable representation of an
age Of popular enlightenment. He
embodies IN the exercise of his inborn
personal liberty the geniuS of democ-
racy, while the other Incorporates
in his assertion of power the merciless
despotism Of IL government CT igno-
ramuses for the benefit of knaves.
Holding these definitions to be in
contestable, the JOURNAL wonders
whether the "homes and friends" of
the scabs, who chad to leave" were
less dear to them than to the cav
alters Of the blacklist:
Moreover, why the miners of said
shaft had the hardihood to defy the
''law Of necessity" lately quoted, in
their own behalf, and enforce it on
the poor Scabs:
For Il system Of ethical monstrosi,
ties commend us to the domination
Of the freeborn scab by the knightIy
captive of the sovereign blacklist.
No coal region i'll this country,
perhaps, is so fortunate as the Elk
Garden.
West Virginia claims the output Of
coal from that region as part Of its
production, its 344, $50 tons for 1886,
being included in the States 3 3,4S3, ,457
tons.
On the other hand, the Cumber-
land correspondent of the Baltimore
SuH credits "the Cumberland coal
region" with the same total for the
same year.
The coal statistician, therefore,
who wants only figures "founded on
fact" is liable to give the Georges
Creek region, alias "Cumberland,"
credit for over 100000 tons more
than it deserves, and in general
compilation Of returns will likely
count the same tonnage twice.
Then when he gets to ascertaining
the wages per capita he finds IA rate
ar below the real one. Presently,
some governor or other dignitary
adopts the figures, which, including
the findings, thus become "ohical."
To these the walking delegate points
as ''proof strong as Holy Writ and
the poor miner is persuaded that in
spite of good work all the year, and
although he was paid so cents per
ton, after all, he averaged, perhaps,
only 40 cents.
This is one of the outgrowths of
that peculiarly convenient arrange
ment whie'5, according TO the Cum
berland Neocs, 'grouPs' the two
regions together.

THE chronic kangaroo who edits the Fred
erick Union in his issue of to-day casts his
habitual slurs at the democratic leaders of
Maryland and in the course of his criticisms
on the tariff makes the absurd statement that
coal is a raw material and should be placed
on the free list Brother Oder is requested to
rebuke this young mans ;norance as it de-
serves and break il to him gently in about
sixteen cantos of the Frostburg JOURNAL, that
coal is essentially manufactured product
and entitled to protection, which it will
receive.-Cumberland Times.

Queer Crops.

Liu-Kiu has been described as the,
Madeira of the Kast, and is predicted
as the future health resort of the Japa-

earthquakes Liu-Kiu has its typhoons,
which blow with tremendous force and
cause great damage periodically.
Commodore Perry was struck with
the abundance of limestone in Liu- Kin.
We learn now that this rock is largely
used for building purposes and for road
making, and that masses of coralline
limestone are found far inland at con-
siderable elevations. Granite, almost
white, also exists in quantities, while
the promontories round the coast are,
generally composed of gneiss. The
Americans found indications of coral,

has never been verified There are
traditions of gold having been found

who sublet it to an aristocratic class
called the "literati," who in turn en-
ploy the peasants in its cultivation.
These last get only one-fifth of the pro-
duce. and the remainder, less expenses
and taxes, goes to the landlord. The
peasantry, therefore, are very poor, and
much Of the land is uacultivated,
although by all accounts the islands are
capable of supporting a much larger
population than they have. A peculi-
arity of the agriculture is that two
crops of the same grain may be grow
ing side by side-the one ready for har-
vesting, the other just beginning to
sprout.
The most important crops are rice,
wheat, and sweet potatoes, but peas
and beans are also largely grown, as
are tobacco and the sugar-cane, the
latter being of small variety. The
tobacco leaf seems to be the same as
that grown in Japan, but is very care
lessly prepared. There are many kinds
of fruit and vegetables, including
oranges, figs, peaches, melons, bananas,
turnips,, pumpkins, onions, etc.
Droughts are not infrequent, but an
elaborate system of irrigation protects

fects. The typhoons he can do moth
